Roísín Ní Riain will swim for a third Paralympic medal this evening after posting the third fastest qualifying time in Thursday morning’s SB13 100m breaststroke heats.

The Limerick teenager, who already has silver from the 100m backstroke and bronze from the 200m individual medley, came into the breaststroke event ranked third and it was in third she sailed into the final.
